Why Homeowners Should Care
Fire Ants were originally imported into the U.S. during the early 1900s and gradually made their way to Middle Tennessee. Fire ant stings can cause a very dangerous reaction in humans and pets.
Though fire ants can build their mounds in any type of soil, they prefer open, sunny areas such as lawns, parks, pastures, meadows and cultivated fields. Depending on the type of soil, mounds can be up to 18 inches high. They can also be formed in rotting logs, around stumps and trees and in or under buildings.
Moisture is key to fire ant survival. When the weather is hot and dry, they burrow deep into the soil to find moisture and cooler temperatures. When it's cold, they burrow down to stay warm. But in warm, damp weather (spring or fall), fire ants are most likely to be active, foraging near the soil surface and building mounds.
